ELMIRA, NY (WENY) -- A young girl from the Southern Tier is making a big impact, helping hundreds of people in her community.

Charlie Tremaine lives in West Elmira with mom, dad and brother Carter.

Recently, for her 5th birthday, Charlie raised and donated $150 to the Food Bank of the Southern Tier.

The Food Bank tells us Charlie started by collecting food. When she found out how far $1 could go, she asked her family to donate instead of giving her a birthday gift.

Yesterday, the Food Bank posted this photo of Charlie on Facebook.

Go, Charlie!
